I don't think this is what's really happening. The problem is that
amandad is not able to send the response back to the dumper on the
tape server because the tape server is refusing connections.
Someone else had this problem a couple of weeks ago and was going to try
upgrading to 2.4.2p2 to see if it helped (it will at least log better
messages about what's going on). Any chance you could do that on the
server and this particular client?
Did you specify any kind of portranges during ./configure? What kind of
protection is sitting between the server and client, i.e. TCP wrappers,
a firewall and/or NAT?
